Meta-analysis: The efficacy of therapeutic drug monitoring of anti-TNF-therapy in inflammatory bowel disease. Compared to SOC, proactive TDM was associated with significant benefits in reducing treatment failure, surgical rates and improved endoscopic remission and response. Compared to reactive TDM, proactive TDM led to a significant reduction in hospitalisation and treatment failure. More studies with larger RCTs and standardised assays are needed to substantiate these results and validate the cost-effectiveness of TDM. |

Faecal microbiota transplantation for recurrent C. difficile infections: challenges and improvement opportunities for clinical practice and healthcare systems. Effectively bringing FMT to patients in a healthcare system requires much more than just the existence of a clinically effective procedure. With FMT being a potentially effective treatment option for recurrent CDI for many patients, a well-rounded understanding of how appropriate FMT capacity can be built and nurtured is important for both healthcare providers and policymakers seeking to improve patient care. |

Alcohol abstinence improves prognosis across all stages of portal hypertension in alcohol-related cirrhosis. Alcohol abstinence improves prognosis across al stages of portal hypertension in alcohol-related cirrhosis, including in patients who have already progressed to high-risk portal hypertension. |

Comparison of adenoma detection rate and proximal serrated polyp detection rate and their effect on post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer mortality in screening patients. The ADR as well as the PSDR were associated with PCCRC death. Striving for a high PSDR in addition to a high ADR might reduce the risk for PCCRC mortality in patients undergoing screening colonoscopy. |

Identification of reduced ERAP2 expression and a novel HLA allele as components of a risk score for susceptibility to liver injury due to amoxicillin-clavulanate. We identified novel associations of AC-DILI risk with ERAP2 low expression and with HLA-B*15:18. GRS based on the five risk variants may assist AC-DILI causality assessment and risk management. |

Inter- and intra-rater agreement of interpretation of functional lumen imaging probe in healthy subjects. Normative FLIP parameters can be reliably extracted from FLIP videos using both real-time and post hoc analyses, with high reliability between experienced and novice users. |
Recording and analysis of slow waves of the small intestine of mice with heart failure. A method to acquire SW activity from small intestines in vivo and isolate low- and high-frequency components was established. The results indicate that HF might be associated with reduced high-frequency SW activity. |
